Black Money Law: Govt raises over Rs 35K cr tax demand
New Delhi: The government has raised tax and penalty demand of over Rs35,105 crore and filed 163 prosecution complaints till March 31 under the foreign black money law, Parliament was informed on Tuesday. Minister of State (MoS) for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary said under the Black Money (Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets) and Imposition of Tax Act, 2015, the government has recovered Rs338 crore towards tax/penalty/interest between July 1, 2015 and March 31, 2025. 'Till March 31, 2025, 1021 assessments have been completed under the Black Money (Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets) and Imposition of Tax Act, 2015, raising tax and penalty demand of over Rs35,105 crore approximately and total 163 prosecutions complaints have been filed,' Chaudhary said in a written reply to Rajya Sabha. The tax demand gets crystallised conclusively when appeals, if any, before CIT(A), ITAT, High Court and Supreme Court are decided. Under the Black Money Act, 2015, it is mandatory for assesses to disclose all foreign assets and income in specified schedules while filing I-T returns. Any non-disclosure attracts a penalty. India receives information about foreign assets and income from over 100 foreign tax jurisdictions, Chaudhary added.

Hamilton police issue arrest warrant for Troy Mudford, say he should not be approached
Troy Mudford, 24, a convicted robber and assaulter, has a warrant out for his arrest. Photo / New Zealand Herald 'The 24-year-old is believed to be in the Hamilton area,' a police spokesman said. '[He] should not be approached,' he said. 'If you see Mudford, or you know where he is, please contact police on 111 and use the reference number 250613/4965.' Informants could also phone 105 or report it on the 105 website. Information could also be offered anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111. Supplied photographs of Mudford show him with distinctive Black Power-associated facial tattoos. Sentencing Mudford in 2022, Justice Jagose noted the eight previous convictions and that he had only been released from jail a month before the Rotokauri robbery. After an 'encounter' the previous day, Mudford arrived at a Rotokauri house with Shannon Jenifer Avery and Maxine Danielle McWaters before the victims, two men and two women, turned up in their car. They confronted them and Mudford punched one of the men in his jaw, before the trio stole their jewellery, handbags and cellphones, ordering them to reset the devices. The victims were then ordered to go inside the house, and some testified they were assaulted and forced to strip naked and hug during the ordeal. They were kept inside the house against their will until dawn. Mudford struck one victim in the back of the head with a hammer. At one point, Avery held a knife to a victim's waist in a vehicle as they met her mother to get money. A pre-sentence report said Mudford was 'motivated to move on' from his anti-social behaviour, which has led to him being estranged from his Cambridge family. While on remand in prison, he had taken steps towards positive goals, which were at this stage proving successful in reducing the number of alerts to the department. However, it was noted he did not have any support in the community for when he would be released. 'I note you saying you are working on being a better person and trying to make changes to better your life to avoid putting yourself in situations like that again,' the judge said. Police have been approached to provide detail on the incident that has led to the new warrant for Mudford's arrest.

Builder tied to house collapse that killed 3 slapped with NSA
AGRA: Days before his bail plea, the district administration along with police in Mathura on Thursday invoked the stringent National Security Act (NSA) against local builder Sunil Chen, main accused in a case involving an excavation that led to the collapse of five houses, including a multi-storey unit, in the city's congested Maya Tila area on June 15. Three people died in the incident. A case was subsequently registered against Sunil Chen and others under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Section 105 (culpable homicide). Chen was later arrested and sent to jail. His bail plea is scheduled to come up for hearing in the district judge's court later this month. SSP Shlok Kumar said that the court and jail authorities were officially informed about the decision to invoke NSA against the builder. Police sources added the "NSA was invoked to prevent any further threat to public safety". "Despite residents' strong objection, Sunil Chen, along with his aides, started unauthorised excavation and construction in the area that ill-fated morning. Five houses collapsed and nearly half-a-dozen more developed cracks. Totaram, 35; Yashoda, 6; and Kajal, 4; died after they were buried under the rubble. Some people were also injured...," district magistrate CP Singh added

Former Andhra Pradesh CM Jagan Mohan Reddy's quash petition posted by High Court for hearing on June 27
Justice Y. Lakshmana Rao of the Andhra Pradesh High Court posted the quash petition filed by Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy in the case of death of an elderly man Singaiah, during the former's recent visit to Rentapalla village in Palnadu district, to June 27, 2025. Singaiah has allegedly been crushed under the vehicle in which the former CM was going in a rally, for which he was arrayed as A-2 under Section 105 read with 49 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhitha, 2023. During the hearing of the petition on Thursday (June 26, 2025), Justice Lakshmana Rao agreed to take it up among fresh matters on Friday (June 27) as Mr. Mohan Reddy's lawyers pressed for urgent orders for interim protection amidst insistence by the counsels for the State that the matter be put off to July 1. The judge observed that perhaps no coercive steps would be taken against the petitioner (Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy) in the meantime. Jagan Mohan Reddy blames convoy death on lack of Z-plus security cover In his plea, Mr. Mohan Reddy submitted that he was innocent and the narration of the facts of the case indicate that the satisfaction of the Nallapadu Station House Officer to register a cognizable offence was not entirely objective. He alleged that the sequence of events leading to the registration of the FIR and further alterations thereof showed that the charges were tailored to implicate him with political vendetta and political malice.

TNB ordered to pay RM547k in late interest to landowner
PUTRAJAYA: Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) has been ordered to pay RM547,105 in late payment interest to a company for delays in compensating it for land used in a transmission line project. A three-member Court of Appeal panel led by Federal Court judge Datuk Lee Swee Seng said the national utility giant must pay the sum to Lambang Kelana Sdn Bhd after finding that the company had been unfairly deprived of its money for over five years due to administrative delays. Other members of the bench were Court of Appeal judges Datuk Azimah Omar and Datuk Wong Kian Kheong. According to court documents, in 2007, TNB had prematurely entered Lambang Kelana's land without due compliance with wayleave procedures under Section 11 of the Electricity Supply Act to install electrical infrastructure. The section stipulates that utility companies must follow specific procedures before entering private land to install or build electrical infrastructure, including giving formal notice to landowners and paying full compensation for any disturbance or loss of use of the land. Lambang Kelana was neither served the statutory notice nor paid proper compensation for the loss of the portion of land acquired as wayleave for TNB. The dispute led to a protracted legal battle, and TNB only paid RM2.1 million in compensation in 2020. However, the payment did not include any interest for the long delay. In 2021, the Negri Sembilan State Authority decided that Lambang Kelana should receive RM1,369,332.95 in late payment interest for the delay in compensation from October 2015 to December 2020. However, TNB filed a judicial review to challenge the decision in the High Court and succeeded in getting it overturned. Azimah, who delivered the unanimous decision in dismissing the lower court's ruling, said the trial judge had misinterpreted the law by adopting a narrow and literal reading of the relevant provisions. "To deprive the appellant of its rightful late payment charges would certainly transgress upon the appellant's constitutional rights safeguarded under Article 13(2) of the Federal Constitution. "Despite the delay caused by the Land Administrator, TNB was still unjustly enriched by being able to utilise and earn interest on the monies that were supposed to be paid to Lambang Kelana for the entire duration of the delay," she said. The appellate court said any interpretation of the law that allows government authorities or licensees to delay compensation with impunity would be unjust. "We are certain that no statute ever legislated within our nation would promote a statutory authority to delay justice with impunity at the expense of unjust losses incurred against innocent landowners. "If that be the case, then TNB would stand to unjustly benefit by holding onto monies that should have been paid to landowners, courtesy of delays by the Land Administrator. "In the meantime, the Land Administrator would not suffer a single sen for the entire duration of the delay. The only party to suffer losses would be the landowner. "Such an interpretation would truly be absurd and unjust," the court added. The court also did not make any order for costs. Lambang Kelana was represented by lawyers Yeoh Cho Kheong and T. Subbbiah, while lawyer David Dinesh Mathew appeared for TNB.
